Things to keep in mind when proposing in public?
Allow professionals to take care of your proposal in New York
In the age of social media and romantic comedies, public marriage proposals have become increasingly popular. From the grand gesture at a baseball game to the flash mob at the Times Square, public proposals offer a memorable way to pop the question. However, with the rise of these spectacles comes the need to understand the etiquette that underpins them.
If you’re considering taking your proposal to the public stage, here are some critical guidelines and tips to bear in mind.
Proposing in public means that the location you choose will be open to the other people as well, who can take pictures and videos of you and your proposal. This might add an extra pressure on both of you or on the other hand make it easier.
So what is the Marriage Proposal Etiquette in Public Locations?
Ensure Your Partner Would Appreciate a Public Proposal
While many cherish the thought of a public proposal, others may feel put on the spot or pressured. Know your partner’s preferences beforehand. It’s essential that the proposal is more about their comfort and happiness than it is about making a grand gesture.
Seek Necessary Permissions
If you’re planning to propose in a specific public location like a restaurant, park, or monument, it’s essential to get the required permissions. Many places have rules or restrictions, and getting prior approval ensures you won’t run into any unforeseen interruptions. For example the popular proposal spot in Dumbo is required 21 day notice for the permit. Same applies to the charming gazebos in Central Park which requires the permit in order to secure the desired day and time.
Consider The Audience
Remember that a public proposal will inevitably have an audience. Be considerate of those around you. Avoid proposing during crucial moments at events, such as during a concert’s climax or in the middle of a theatre performance or at someone else proposal. If you see proposal decorations at the location that you wanted to propose, consider moving to another place.
Plan for Privacy, Even in a Public Setting
While the idea is to propose publicly, finding a spot that allows for a semblance of privacy within that space will enable a genuine, heartfelt exchange. A quiet corner in a park or a secluded spot by a water fountain can offer a good balance. Central Park has lots of secluded gazebos, so even if you are at the park its still private and intimate proposal. Those location however require a permit, so plan accordingly.
Have a Backup Plan
Outdoor proposals especially are subject to various unpredictable factors like weather or unexpected events. Always have an alternative idea or location in mind, just in case. Weather in New York is very unpredictable, so if you proposing outdoors always think of the inside place ( hotel room or private venue).
Document The Moment, But Be Discreet
It’s natural to want to capture this pivotal moment. If you’re planning to have a photographer or videographer, ensure they’re discreet and don’t intrude on the moment. Likewise, be respectful of others around you. Not everyone may want to be included in your personal memories.
Respect Reactions
Should your partner be taken aback or need a moment, respect their feelings. Every individual reacts differently, and it’s crucial to be supportive and understanding regardless of the response. Especially if its a crowd of people around you, protect your partner and give them a minute to get together.
Consider the environment
Public locations are not wedding/ engagement venues. You can not bring confetti, glitter, balloons, sparkles, alcohol to it. Also clean up after the proposal to leave the place as you find it.
Public proposals can be magical and memorable. However, the key to a successful proposal lies in meticulous planning and a deep understanding of your partner’s preferences. Respect for others and the location is paramount. When done right, this grand gesture can be a story you both cherish for a lifetime.
The best public proposal ideas in New York:
Top of the Empire State Building: Nothing quite matches the romance of the city lights from this iconic skyscraper. Evening or early morning can be particularly magical times.

The High Line: This elevated linear park built on a historic freight rail line offers a unique setting amidst urban greenery.
Rooftop Bars: NYC is home to numerous rooftop bars with panoramic views. Some favorites include The Press Lounge, 230 Fifth, and Top of The Standard.
DUMBO: This Brooklyn neighborhood offers fantastic views of both the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. The cobblestone streets and waterfront add to its charm. ” Marry me” sign is perfect option for this location.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art: If your partner appreciates art, consider proposing in front of their favorite artwork.
Times Square: While it’s bustling, if you both enjoy the energy of the city, the heart of NYC can be the place. Maybe even arrange for your proposal to appear on one of the big screens!
Rockefeller Center:
Winter proposal by the famous Christmas tree or while ice-skating at the Rink in Rockefeller Center.
During other seasons, the Top of the Rock offers a less crowded alternative to the Empire State Building with equally compelling views.
New York Public Library: For literary lovers, the iconic Rose Main Reading Room or one of the library’s many beautiful corners can be enchanting.
On a Boat: Charter a private sailboat or join a nighttime cruise around Manhattan for a proposal with the NYC skyline and perhaps the Statue of Liberty as your backdrop.
The One World Observatory: Offering a bird’s-eye view of the city, this is a modern alternative to the more traditional skyscraper proposals.
Remember, regardless of the location you choose, it’s essential to consider your partner’s personality and preferences. Some might love the grandeur of Times Square, while others might prefer the serenity of Central Park. Tailor the proposal to ensure it’s memorable and meaningful for both of you. And, if you’re planning an elaborate proposal or need a particular spot at an attraction, always check in advance for any required permissions or reservations.

Cherry Blossoms marriage proposal ideas in New York
Allow professionals to take care of your proposal in New York
New York City, with its bustling streets and towering skyscrapers, might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of cherry blossoms. However, come spring, certain areas of the city transform with the soft, ethereal beauty of cherry blossoms, creating a romantic backdrop perfect for a marriage proposal. Here are some of the best cherry blossom marriage proposal ideas in New York to make that special moment even more unforgettable.
Where to see Cherry Blossoms in New York?
Central Park, one of the most iconic locations in New York, is home to several cherry blossom trees, particularly around areas like Cherry Hill and the Reservoir. These spots become popular destinations for both locals and tourists, who flock to the park to enjoy picnics, leisurely walks, and the picturesque scenery offered by the blooming trees.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is another cherry blossom haven, especially famous for its Cherry Esplanade. The garden hosts an annual event, Sakura Matsuri, which celebrates Japanese culture and the cherry blossom season with a variety of performances, art, and traditional ceremonies. The rows of cherry trees create a stunning canopy of blossoms, offering a truly immersive experience. This location is particularly perfect for a secret proposal and photography.
Riverside Park and Roosevelt Island offer more serene settings for cherry blossom viewing. Riverside Park’s cherry trees line the Hudson River, providing a peaceful escape with waterfront views. Roosevelt Island, with its annual Cherry Blossom Festival, offers a unique vantage point of the blossoms with the Manhattan skyline in the background, enhancing the beauty of the blooms. Both locations are less touristy and provide the perfect backdrop for a proposal. We would highly recommend hiring a secret videographer to capture the moment.
The New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx also participates in the cherry blossom celebration, featuring a diverse collection of cherry trees throughout its expansive grounds. The garden provides an educational as well as a visual feast, with various species of cherry trees and related programming during the bloom season. This garden is perfect for an engagement session in New York, but keep in mind you will need to get a special photographer permit, so plan your proposal earlier.
Best Cherry Blossoms proposal ideas in New York
Creating a memorable marriage proposal during the cherry blossom season in New York City requires a mix of creativity, planning, and a touch of spontaneity. Here are some more specific and imaginative ideas to take advantage of the picturesque cherry blossom backdrop in NYC:
Cherry Blossom Picnic in Central Park
Organize a romantic picnic under the cherry blossoms in a quiet corner of Central Park. Lay down a blanket, bring a basket filled with your partner’s favorite treats, and perhaps a bottle of champagne for celebrating. As you both enjoy the serene beauty and the petals falling gently around you, it sets the perfect stage for you to pop the question. Don’t forget to hire a NYC photographer to document the stunning moment.
Sunrise or Sunset Proposal at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Plan a visit to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden either at sunrise or just before sunset. The soft light during these times creates a magical atmosphere among the cherry blossoms, making it an idyllic setting for a proposal. Check the garden’s opening hours and perhaps coordinate with the staff for any special arrangements.
Rowboat Proposal on The Lake in Central Park
Rent a rowboat for just the two of you and propose in the middle of The Lake in Central Park, surrounded by the beauty of cherry blossoms along the shoreline. The sense of isolation on the water, combined with the scenic views, creates a private and romantic setting. You could even hide the ring in a small treasure chest for an added element of surprise. Our secret proposal photographer will be there to capture her surprise reaction.
Cherry Blossom Walk in Riverside Park
Plan a leisurely walk along Riverside Park, timing your stroll to coincide with the peak bloom of cherry blossoms. You could lead your partner to a pre-arranged spot where “Will you marry me?” is set up with letters amidst the blossoms or simply choose a spontaneous moment when it feels just right, perhaps as petals fall around you like soft pink snow.
Scavenger Hunt through Cherry Blossom Locations
Create a scavenger hunt that takes your partner through various cherry blossom spots across the city, with each clue leading closer to the ultimate question. The final clue could lead them to a beautifully decorated spot under the cherry blossoms, where you await with the ring. This idea adds an element of adventure and surprise to the proposal.
Cherry Blossom Festival Proposal at Roosevelt Island
Coordinate your proposal with the Roosevelt Island Cherry Blossom Festival, where you can enjoy cultural performances and activities before finding a quiet moment under the blossoms to propose. The festive atmosphere will add joy and excitement to your special moment. Our secret marriage proposal photographer and videographer will be following you throughout the event documenting every step.
Private Garden Gazebo in Central Park
Find a secluded gazebo or bench in Central Park surrounded by cherry blossoms for a private moment. You could have the spot decorated subtly with candles or fairy lights (be sure to check with garden policies) to enhance the romantic setting. There is nothing like a candlelight proposal and the gentle smell of the blooming flowers for a perfect proposal setup.
Helicopter Ride Over Cherry Blossom Sites
For a truly grand gesture, book a private helicopter ride over New York City during the cherry blossom season. While not directly among the trees, this unique perspective offers a breathtaking view of the blossoms from above, providing a memorable and exhilarating backdrop for your proposal. Dont forget to hire our secret proposal photographer to capture the grand surprise.
Custom Cherry Blossom Art Installation
Collaborate with a local artist to create a temporary cherry blossom-themed art installation in a public space (with necessary permissions), where the centerpiece is your proposal. This could be a path lined with handmade cherry blossoms leading to a central spot where you propose, adding a personal and creative touch to the moment.
Cherry Blossom Canopy Dinner
Arrange for a private dinner under a canopy of cherry blossoms in one of the parks or gardens, with a table set for two. This could be done through a pop-up dinner company or a private catering service that specializes in outdoor events. The intimate setting under the night sky, surrounded by the soft glow of lanterns and the scent of cherry blossoms, would make for an enchanting proposal.
Each of these ideas can be tailored to fit your relationship, ensuring that your proposal is as unique and special as your love story. Remember to consider your partner’s personality and preferences, and whatever idea you choose, the natural beauty of the cherry blossoms will add an unforgettable backdrop to your proposal.
Tips for a Perfect Cherry Blossom Proposal
Timing is Everything: Cherry blossoms have a very brief blooming period, so keep an eye on the bloom forecasts and plan accordingly.
Plan for Privacy: While these spots can get crowded, especially during peak bloom, try to find a more secluded area or choose an off-peak time for the proposal. For example, rent a private New York rooftop proposal and decorate it with the Cherry Blossoms theme decor.
Photographer on Standby: Hiring a photographer to capture the moment can provide you with beautiful memories to cherish forever. We are familiar with these locations and can suggest the best spots and times.
Respect Nature: Remember to respect the natural beauty of the cherry blossoms and the surrounding area. Avoid picking flowers or branches and stay on designated paths to preserve the environment for everyone to enjoy.
A marriage proposal under the cherry blossoms in New York combines the beauty of nature with the iconic backdrop of the city, making it an unforgettable start to your journey together. With a bit of planning and an eye for the perfect moment, you can create a proposal that captures the essence of your love amidst the fleeting beauty of the cherry blossoms.
